Soirée parfaite encore une fois le 8 janvier. Les mots me manquent! Mais au risque de me répéter, bravo & merci chef Vaillancourt!

Autres beaux & bons moments passés à L'Antidote. Emplacement chaleureux, service très attentionné. Très bons cocktails. Tous les plats dégustés étaient excellents.
Luc Vaillancourt & sa brigade se sont surpassés...comme d'habitude. Nous sommes privilégiés d'avoir une table gastronomique de cette qualité à Sherbrooke. Le meilleur & surtout le plus constant d'une visite à l'autre! Luc Vaillancourt est certainement dans le top 5 des chefs au Québec. Merci encore à toute l'équipe. Bravo!

We googled best restaurants in Sherbrooke, Quebec & were intrigued by the horse cheek Shepherd's Pie (shepherd's pie being my partner's favorite dish). Came in late night with no real expectations & we were honestly blown away with the ambience, service & food.

In the uber ride over, our driver said he dropped three separate groups at that restaurant the same night, so we knew we were going somewhere great.

We opted to sit at the bar since we knew the kitchen/restaurant were getting ready to start shutting down. The bartender/our server - Corinne, was warm, extremely knowledgeable, had amazing recommendations & explained every dish with remarkable detail.

We had the bison carpaccio & duck tartare to start, then the shepherd's pie & duck breast as our mains & the sea buckthorn tarte for dessert. To drink, I had an espresso martini & my partner was extremely pleased with the corn on the cob cocktail (sounds wild but so so so good!). We both had the Pinot noir with dinner, as per Corinne's recommendations & it went so well with our meals.

The restaurant is in what appears to be an old textile factory, & they pay homage to that with the cellar-esque vibe, sewing machine decor, & stylish aprons & mixed glassware.

We thought we'd have an interesting late night meal & ended up having one of the best meals we've ever had with amazing service & the coolest vibe.

10/10 would recommend! *chef's kiss*

✨ Un joyau culinaire à Sherbrooke ✨

Certains restaurants vont au-delà du simple repas - ils offrent une véritable expérience. À Sherbrooke, il existe une adresse culte où l'aura des lieux, l'attention sincère du personnel & la magie du chef se conjuguent pour créer un moment unique.

Du service attentionné à chaque détail savamment orchestré en cuisine, ce restaurant incarne l'excellence & l'authenticité. Un endroit où l'on ne vient pas seulement manger, mais vivre quelque chose de plus grand.

À découvrir. À savourer. À partager.

Nous avons été agréablement surpris par la qualité de la cuisine & du service. L'originalités des cocktails, des entrées, des plats & des desserts sont forts intéressants & succulents. La salade César est hors de l'ordinaire, la soupe Parmentier est très bonne, l'assiette de boeuf & le saumon sont divinement bien apprêté, les desserts crèmes glacées pop corn & le gâteau de carotte sont très originales. Bravo au chef Luc Vaillancourt & sa brigade & à notre serveuse. 😊 Je recommande le cocktail du moment à la cerise. 🍒

Bravos à tous & longue vie à Antidote Foodlab.

I absolutely love this restaurant. This is my second time coming to Sherbrooke for work & I made it a priority to come back here for dinner with a coworker. Had a wonderful experience again with delicious meals & refreshing drinks. This is a fancy place & a lot of effort goes into everything they do so it's not cheap to eat here but the cost of the dining experience is more than fair. This time I split the sushi tartare, had the duck for dinner & the Miso ice cream for dessert. My coworker had the smoked fish & the popcorn ice cream & in his words "this is only the second time I've congratulated the chef on what he made!" He is gluten free & is doing dry January & they had options across the board for his dietary restriction. Only complaint was that after ordering drinks initially it took a while for them to show up, but afterwards everything came out quickly, they ended up comping the first rounds of drinks as an apology. Spent 200CAD for two people, worth every dollar.
